Comment moderation in Telegram

Spam protection for groups and channel comments: your bot finds links, repeated messages and flooding, then deletes them or sends them to you for review. All comments appear in one feed with filters.

  1. Awaiting reply — no one has replied yet
  2. Questions — about prices, timing or availability
  3. Want to buy — ready to order
  4. Looks like spam — links, other people’s contact details or repeated messages

FAQs

What does the bot need to moderate channel comments?
Make it an administrator of the channel’s discussion group. Comments are collected from the moment it connects; Telegram doesn’t give bots access to older comments.
Will the bot start deleting messages straight away?
Not in “Observe” mode. The bot only logs violations, and you apply queued actions manually. Once you’re happy with the rules, enable “Apply actions”.
Where can I see all comments?
In “Comments”: a feed with threads and “Awaiting reply”, “Questions”, “Want to buy” and “Looks like spam” filters. Reply, delete, mute or ban in one click.
How much is it?
“Comments” and spam protection are available on Plus (19,99 €/month) and Premium (34,99 €/month). AI for uncertain cases is included in Premium. Your first 3 days are free.
